Show L THE WOODS ARE FULL OF AVAILABLE CANDIDATES I WHO ARE VERY WILLING JNcw Commissioners Arc Having a Merry Time of It Many I Political Mixups Noticed Not a Few are Ready With Sug-I Sug-I ; gestions As Yet, However, Mayor Elect. Hayball Has Not Succumbed to the Wiles of Over Zealous Democracy. Hi " mm B As the new jcur approaches tlu I matter of appointments by the City Commissioners Is the nit Important topic, nnd i8 a mutter ot fnct there Ih no little scurrlng nfter the Jobs. The Democratic city coinmlttce liuve been 'meeting to discuss the situation, and no doubt have u solution to tholr liking. From the fuel that a majority of the commissioners were elected on n Democratic platform It is only natural to suppose that thero will bo a complete slate or the faithful faith-ful honored with places among the mayor's official family. In conversation conversa-tion with Mayor-elect Hayball this morning wo were informed that tho committee had canvassed tho sltua-ton, sltua-ton, but that thero was no'ldus to Rive out. That the commissioners had not met to dlsc-133 the committees recommendations on account o' thn .ibsenco of Mr. l.lndqulst. On u'ecount of Incidents connected with the present ndmlulHtrntlon tho .ppointment of "Nccloy" Peterson as marshal, Mac llonson as" recorder, ' and .Tamos Ilauscn us policeman might reasonably be oxpected. In fact, It Is argued In many quarters that unless this trio Is honored It will .4' a great thru down for them, as tho rolls they have played during the , past two ears or more, It Is urged, Mjk entered more or less Into the cam- i palgn And why hot? Mr.- Peterson nnd Recorder Iienson played high hands during the struggle, und then .marshaled their forces in the campaign. cam-paign. Why not reward them. They havt certainly worked to bring about the present condltlou of things, and the people huve g!en them n vote of confidence, and they are certainly cer-tainly in line for further recognition. That the above candidates will not be appointed is very evident if certain cer-tain of the followers of tho Democrat-lo Democrat-lo party can havo their way. The f- morning-after election one of tho old Demociatiu wheel horses announced '' that a committee consisting of J. M. v. Illalr, N. W. Kimball, nnd Joseph E. ik Cardon would .hove a groat denl to j! say In tho matter. And now we learn It from glennlng hero nnd there that Mr. A. E. Cranney, Democratic city chair- ti, man, nnd superintendent of Mutual fm Improvement is slated for tho mar- sh'alshlp. H this condition maintains fti "Neeley's" chances will go gllmmor- I j lng, but BtUl not nil hopes havo fled, I 'or It Is snld the mayor thinks 1 ho would make a first class road au di , pervlsor, nnd is grooming him for a this position. James HauBen seems to 1 he unnblo to find favor In tho eyes 1 of Chairman Crnnney, and it is re- 1 ported that Mr. Cranney will not J stand for Hansen oa tno police force. i Just who Mr. Crnnney favors was S not lenrned. In tho road supervisor J -waiter it -was generally Jjcllovcd that ti ' Mr. J .M. Dlalr would got tho np- polntment without opposition, but It M . , now looks as though he would bo M shelved for Mr. "Neeley" 'Peterson. KB ( The city Justice Is apparently de-mk de-mk veloplng a pretty scrup, and Is Un ci lng up tho big wheel horses of the H party. Yesterday rumor had It that B the two leading aspirants were Mr. B N. W. Kimball and Mr.. Fred J. Mar- m shall, with perhaps a shade tho bet- H ter ot tho argument in favor of' 'Mr. ffa ' MarBhall. Our Informant otatedi how lSM. . that in this matter It looked as r .y thbupli each of these gentlemen H' ivoulil have one vote, and an appeal A toMr, I.Indulst might bo ma'do for ' settlement. Mr. LIndqulst. could riot , ft be reached to ascertain his position', L'S but it Is not unlikely that ho would i J ur,6e a comiiromlso in the person of h John A. Hondrlckson, tho defeated LJ caiidldatei;tor-mayor on tho Citizens f T? ticket, and an ivxdont worker for tho lomocratlc-Cltlzons combine No one worfiid moro "'faithfully than Mr. Hendrickson for tho election' of the Democratic tlclrtt, and tli'oreforo np one is more Justly entitlod to reward. A compromise ot this kind with (bo ; appointment of Mr. il'endrlckBbn wou'd certainly be a reward tif mVrft In the matter of Clt Attorne it looks as though the Republicans will stand a chance, and through the good work of Mr. Mndqulst Attorney A A Law seems almost suro to recehe the honor. Mr. Ijludulst ih reported to have urged the appointment of Mr l.uu to his fellow nasi. (Mutes and thuy look upon It with favor. Wo (ongrat ulate Mr. Mndqulst for his activlt) in this regaid and trust ho will be successful In luii'lliis Mr l.nw Hut while nil this milling Is going on the two demorratlo commlHsloncts are somewhut troubled. As snld In 'tho beginning they were elected on.i Democratic platform, and the faithful are expecting n full measure of plums. It was evident to these . gentlemen, however, that It was Impossible for them to be elected by Democratic votes, nnd In order to be elected they inudo all sorts of promises to bo nonpartisan non-partisan In the conduct of affairs In enso of election. Now that they are elected they nro thinking It over. Tho Democratic politicians are pushing them to the Jlnilt. They Vnnt, tho plums, and the rotnmlslouoitt nro mi ugnitiBt It. Really tho situation Is Interesting Two sets of appointive officers are In tho snddle today, tho electric, light office Is filled with Democrats. Met-srs Mnughnn, Kvnns. Worloy, et ill are looked upon as among the most faith fill of the Democracy. The police force, road supervisor, etc . represent tho Republican side, nnd are pmong the best qualified men in the city. Hero then Is tho situation. Two sets of officers maintain ono Democratic and the other Rcuibllcans Tho commissioners com-missioners promised to bo non-partisan, and tho people are wondering which set will be removed. It will bo lmposslblo to romovo Don C. Iienson ns marshal and C. C. Cressal as road supervisor "for the good ot tho service, ser-vice, hence tho action of tho comrals sioners Is looked forward to with Interest. |
